So to make a long story short..... drove to a Nissan Dealer, (without wife) and picked up a 2010 Black 370Z with Sports Package and MT. Wife was not happy, but in California there is no "cooling off" period, hence I am now "stuck" with a Z350 for next 5 years. 
I think I am gonna enjoy this......

Driving Hybrids to be Green is one thing but it is not as economical as car companies want you to think they are. A friend has a Civic Hybrid and her battery cost $3K+ to replace just 3 months out of warranty.
Enjoy the Z!
